1975 disaster declarations

In 1975, FEMA issued 381 county-level disaster declarations across 26 states and 338 counties. The most frequent declaration type was flood.

The states most affected in 1975 were Alabama (51 declarations), Tennessee (46), and Michigan (33). Beyond flood, the year also saw significant severe storm activity.

Year pages aggregate county-level declarations by calendar year. A single weather event — a hurricane season, a drought — can generate hundreds of county declarations across multiple states. The county pages linked from the timeline above show the per-county detail: aid breakdown, program authorizations, and how each event fits into the county's longer disaster history.
